Explains the US misconception...this is the territorial occupation of the Venezuelan territory by a criminal association of various foreign parties... something that never happened before... but had been tried many times.

I do not think Trump is not an interventionist...it is simply that in the veni case all he wanted was to score some easy points with the Floridan electorate... that didn´t work .. his attention moved somewhere else...

ok he was talking about 4G. :~)
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has announced an "immediate investment" in the Huawei company, accused by the United States of spying for China. Its purpose is for the Chinese company to help Venezuela install 4G mobile network technology, which for now works intermittently in the main cities of the oil country.
"I have ordered an immediate investment together with our Chinese brothers, and the technology of China, the technology of Huawei, ZTE, and all the Chinese companies and all the Russian companies, for us to raise the capabilities of the entire communications system and make the 4G system a reality," said Maduro during an act with the military in Caracas. ....

it's An effort by the Maduro government to remove Padrino Lopez from the helm of the Defense Ministry risks sparking another attempt at overthrowing Maduro.

Background: Padrino Lopez reportedly participated in an April 30 attempt to overthrow Maduro yet Venezuela's president has thus far not replaced Padrino Lopez, casting doubt on the extent of Maduro's authority over the country's political landscape.

maduro announced today he will stick tu huawei Technology and intensify develompent of Internet infrastructure from huawei.
it's the ideal Technology to control waht citizens ared doing online.

alex... even so... one should imagine that the US has the military might to deal with Diosdado´s paramilitary without too much sweat... this is not Afghanistan..there is no religion war here ... but a narco terrorist mob exterminating the population of venezuela...

_WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump needs to warn Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to leave office or face a US military invasion similar to the 1983 invasion of Grenada ordered by former President Ronald Reagan, Senator Lindsey Graham said in a press release.

"In the 1980s, confronted with Cuban intervention in Grenada, President Reagan intervened militarily, ensuring Grenada didn’t become a satellite state of Cuba", Graham said on Thursday. "The United States must be willing to intervene in Venezuela the way we did in Grenada".

Graham said if Trump put both Cuba and Maduro on notice, it would send a clear message to dictators and despots that the United States means what it says_

leo.. norway is a farce... no doubt... but shows the fundamental misconception of the peace-mongers of this world...

the veni case is unique... peace agreements are usually brokered between a legal government and an illegal challenge coming from some violent group...ETA, Cataluña, Farc, Shinning Path, Tupamaros, ERP... etc...

Veni is the other way around... the illegal part is the government and it is the one exercising the violence... the legal part is the challenger... who is not exercising the violence...

Why would the guy that is in charge and armed up to his teeth cede power to the unarmed challenger?

Savo, the biggest human tragedy for US presidents is high gas prices at US petrol stations. Problem being, Veni production has become small and irrelevant. Only some big oil price tightening would put some urgency into this.

leo.. sorry but i disagree... the world has decided that there is no amount of human suffering in Venezuela that justifies military intervention... every time a foreign government... Costa Rica yesterday.. says that it opposes military intervention... it undermines Guaido´s position and strengthens Maduro´s...

Look where we are now... in Norway (!!) ...Do you really believe that those 2 Rodriguez there have any real mandate or authority to negotiate anything?

This transcends Maduro...Padrino...or the FANB... there is a criminal association between China, Russia, Hezbollah, Turkish fundamentalists, Colombian narcos..Colombian Terrorists...etc.. that have managed to get hold of a vast and rich territory in Latam... and whose representative is Diosdado and his paramilitary armed up to their teeth.
